What Is Zendaya’s Net Worth?

As of January 2025, Zendaya's net worth is estimated to be around $30 Million.

This wealth is attributed to her successful career as an actress, singer, and producer. Zendaya has made a successful transition from a child actor on Disney shows to becoming a prominent movie star, fashion icon and accomplished entrepreneur.

Zendaya began starring in the Disney sitcom Shake It Up. Her salary for Shake It Up isn't publicly disclosed, but one report suggests she earned $140,000 for her three seasons on the show. However, this figure seems quite low, so it's likely she earned at least that amount per season. She also reportedly made $400,000 per season of K.C. Undercover.

According to some sources, Zendaya, already a household name and an executive producer on Euphoria, likely earned at least twice the $25,000 per episode that her co-star, Sydney Sweeney, reportedly made, which sums up to $325,000 for 13 episodes. This suggests Zendaya’s salary was likely a minimum of $50,000 per episode. According to a February 2023 report, Zendaya is reported to earn $1 Million per episode for Season 3 of Euphoria and beyond.

In February 2022, it was reported that Spider-Man: No Way Home, released in December 2021, paid Zendaya $10 Million in bonuses alone. This suggests that she likely received an additional upfront payment for her role in the movie as well.

Her biggest payday till now was for 2024’s Challengers, for which she got paid $10 million. Compared to that, she got just around $2 million for her other 2024 blockbuster Dune: Part Two.

Beyond acting, the runner-up on Season 16 of Dancing with the Stars has built wealth through business ventures and numerous brand endorsement deals and partnerships. In August 2015, Zendaya launched her Daya shoe collection, followed by her Daya by Zendaya clothing line in 2016.

She has secured many lucrative brand endorsements and collaborations and has been the face of prominent fashion and beauty brands, including CoverGirl, Tommy Hilfiger, Lancôme, Bulgari, and Louis Vuitton. In 2019, Zendaya reportedly earned at least seven figures for her brand endorsement deal with the beauty giant, Lancôme. These ventures have all significantly contributed to her growing net worth.
